So close to a win Cycling: New Zealand cyclist Corbin Strong has been pipped for a stage win on the Giro d’Italia. Strong picked up the wheel of Dane Mads Pedersen at the end of the 160km stage and came along beside him, but was unable to get in front. Strong, 25, finished a half a wheel-length behind in second. “It was a close sprint. I’ve always had confidence that I can take it to these guys in the sprint if I have a good run, and today I had a lot of confidence after stage 1,” Strong told his Israel Premier Tech team after the stage. Pedersen’s second-stage win resulted in him taking back the overall leader’s jersey from Primoz Roglic. Greg Henderson was the last New Zealander to win a stage on a Grand Tour, taking out the third stage of the Vuelta a Espana in 2009.
